  • Decision(s) FOI 36: Not upheld
The complainant has requested speaking notes and preparatory notes for Minister’s Finance Bill Committee debate on 20 May 2008. HM Treasury (“the Treasury”) confirmed that information was held but was exempt on the basis of section 36(2)(b)(i) and (c) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Treasury has correctly applied these exemptions and the balance of the public interest lies in maintaining the exemption. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2013/0284 withdrawn.
